Craftsman Porch ColumnsExterior Renovations

An older home renovation needs an expert who can reveal a house’s character, not bury it under new construction. With our expertise in historical architecture, you can be confident your home’s vintage beauty will shine through even while you’re enjoying the latest kitchen appliances, energy-saving windows or bath fixtures.

Maybe your greatest wish is rescuing your Old Portland style home from the avocado era of the ‘60s. We’re experts at finding, making and installing windows, doors, moldings, fixtures and period details for any style house. No matter what your house has been through, we can restore it to its golden age.

We invite you to tour some of our recent home renovations.

Knowing that [the front porch] would be the focal point of the house, we wanted only the finest artisans in all of Portland to bring the old porch back to life – this had become a labor of love!  My daughter, a landscape architect, researched several local design firms, and after meeting with Wade Freitag, decided that Craftsman Design and Renovation was clearly the one for the job.
